Mackenzie, aka Mickey, is an unapologetic degenerate who suddenly finds
herself stuck in affluent Greenwich, CT, raising her spoiled niece and
nephews: Sabrina an ambitious, 18-going-on-30-year-old who is a worthy
adversary to Mickey; Chip, 13, an arrogant, entitled
neo-con-in-the-making with an extremely punchable face; and Ben, an
adorably fragile nerd. It's pretty much everything Mickey has never
wanted. Regardless, she's determined to rise to the occasion and
transform these little monsters into honest, hard-working, decent
members of society - something she knows absolutely nothing about.
